Service of Baptism for Ellie Emlen Slechta

Presented by Ryan, Lindsey and big sister Anna Slechta

We receive this child as a new person in Christ. We offer our understanding and support as she explores life. We enfold her in our love, seeking together to grow in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and all people. We join with Ryan and Lindsey in telling the Gospel in our midst, so that their child and all children may live with us for Christ, showing forth his love for all people.

Ellie, we greet you on this glad morning;
We are so happy that you are here.
Our fondest wishes go with you always:
God guard and keep you all through the years.
